Death Certification changes likely from April 2014

The British Department of Health is working with a range of
organisations to simplify and strengthen the process of death
certification. Proposals are that certified causes of
deaths which are not investigated by a coroner are
independently scrutinised by a locally
appointed medical examiner.
